Configuring SMB
 | Server Message Block (SMB) is a protocol for sharing resources, such as files and printers, with more than one device in a network. The machine uses SMB to store scanned documents into a shared folder. Depending on your network, you may have to set the NetBIOS name and workgroup name. |

Specifying the Computer Name and the Workgroup Name
Specify the name of the machine on the network and the name of the workgroup it belongs to. If your environment does not have workgroups, create a workgroup in Windows and enter the name of that workgroup.

[Timeout]
Set the wait time until the SMB connection destination responds.
Set the wait time until the SMB connection destination responds.
When communicating to an SMB server, the network connection may be lost or the response on the server side may be slow, resulting in timeout on the machine side before the data is sent or forwarding is completed. If this happens, you may be able to avoid a timeout by increasing the wait time.

 When [Require Encryption for Connection] is enabled, the machine can only connect to SMB servers that support SMB v3.0 encrypted communication. Even if [1.0] and [2.0] are selected for [Specified SMB Client Versions], if [3.0] is not selected, the machine cannot connect to SMB servers that do not support SMB v3.0 encrypted communication. Use the same version of SMB with the SMB server and SMB client. SMB cannot be used if the versions differ. |
